EF under siege?
« on: May 30, 2011, 01:11:53 AM »
I wonder what's going on in past days. We had 1.4 finally, but since this day every time I try to enter www.Easternfront.org is mostly a failure. 503 error is occuring every time. Even hitting F5 button won't help. So what's going on? I went down to the end of forum main page and I found that mostly we have up to 100 visitor at the moment. I guess it's not so high amount. So I'm asking, just to get informed well ( I think I have right to ask :) ), what's happening? Is the server malfunction, or too many downloads at the same time? I hope I'll be able to read answer in next two days, if the present situation will carry on.

The auto-update feature on the launcher is tied directly with the site. Since there are massive amounts of downloads occuring the site is slow.

So it looks like the auto-updater bug is causing 503 errors?

That's not what I meant. I meant that the updater on the Launcher itself is tied to the site, not the auto-update feature, my apologies.

The devs really opened up Pandora's box when they released 1.4 and linked it to the auto update.

Could Eastern Front buy a new server to stop this from happening?

We are working on a solution for future patches, should be out before 1.50 at least. We don't wanna stress something out, that it afterwards seen to not work as well as another solution. So, we'd think/talk some stuff over and get it right, then screw everything up.
